Superfront

Dress up your IKEA units with an awesome choice of door fronts, handles, legs, tops and sides from brand new Swedish design company Superfront. The pieces are made to fit Pax, Besta and Faktum units adding a little extra something to make them look a little less 'IKEA'. The prices aren't really reflective of an IKEA budget but still...I'm loving the brass 'circus' handles and the 'tribute' door fronts.

Lyon & Turnbull Interiors Auction

Tomorrow (Saturday 6th April 2013), Edinburgh auctioneers, Lyon & Turnbull are holding their second of a new regular sale entitled 'Interiors'. As the name suggests, the sale will include a variety of different high quality objects, including art and furniture, from all different eras, at 'affordable prices'.
It's definitely worth a visit, if only to experience the excitement of an auction but especially if you're looking for a statement piece. There are some real gems.
I've picked out my favourites from the catalogue which, I've just realised, appear to be solely representative of my mid century attraction at present. Don't be misled...there are objects for all tastes!

The full catalogue is available to view online here.

Varpunen DIYs

We all know that Suki of Varpunen produces some awesome storage solutions but if you follow her blog you'll be able to see some imaginative (and beautifully photographed) DIY projects (as well as other inspiration). You may even be able to try them yourselves if you can decipher the Finnish translation from google translate!
I suffer from a serious case of 'why didn't I think of that?!' when it comes to all the DIY projects I see on blogs and Pinterest. I often think of documenting some projects to feature on Yeah...ok...bye but at the moment, finding the time to write posts is difficult enough! I'd love to hear of any DIY projects you've undertaken.

Dare Studios

I'm guilty of defaulting to Scandinavian or US sources for inspiration and key interior features or unusual furniture pieces and accessories, all too often. As a keen supporter of local and UK designers, I'm vowing to discover and share lots of home grown talent this year.
Take a look at this beautiful hand made furniture from Dare Studios based in Brighton. With a nod to mid century modern design and a firm grasp on current trends, Dare have produced some beautifully crafted, statement pieces. The wire based tables are also available in brass and copper and I've fallen for this marble topped, steel framed, 'strand' side table.

If you are, or know of any great UK designers/makers whose work you think I'd like, please get in touch via the 'about me' page, facebook or twitter. I'd love to hear from you...and if I love your work I'll share it here...
